I'm actually giving NY a rest this time and waiting on the HF preorder right there with you, man. If it doesn't go through, I've already decided to just get a V1 RVF and call it a day on Mac F collecting. If it does though, and HF turns out to be a reliable dealer, it's a win-win for us because we'll know we have a source with great prices right in our backyards!

Nippon Yasan will come through on every order with only as many hiccups as any other legit online retailer would have. I've been "praising" them since the VF-25 Super Parts originally dropped, and there were plenty of "principled" fans who insisted on waiting for HLJ, Ami Ami, etc. due to NY's markup system. Now look where everyone is shopping.

We should actually call them up and ask if pick up is an option. I'll meet you there for a high 5 if they actually deliver on the orders.

Crap... I just made a fresh tub of popcorn too. Oh well. Even if Hobbyfan turns out to be funky in any way, they're located in Emeryville, CA. All of us Bay Area Macross fans can organize a march on them if they pull anything funny. lol

Finally snapped...

Which Yamato Hikaru Ichijyo valkyrie should I buy? I only have money f
ultraman zoffy replied to Swooshiex's topic in Toys
I remember way back when I thought a TV V2 1/60 VF-1S would be good enough for my collection... now I own every Yamato V2 1/60 that Hikaru spent significant time in (except for his training VF-1J that I just don't like the color of). You're on a slippery slope of madness if you expose yourself to a V2 1/60, but ultimately I'd probably say his red/white VF-1J would be a good one time buy if you have enough self control to just buy one. -
I own an 0S and an Ivanov SV-51... bought both used, and while I LOVE the look of them, every time I get the urge to want to handle the valks I have to prep myself with some meditation since I know stuff will be flying off left and right, flopping around, etc. The wings on my SV-51 will not hold their "up" position at all when fully loaded; tried super glue to thicken them up... no help. And as far as the 0S in Gerwalk, it's not that you need to have the intakes disconnected in that mode, they will just always want to disconnect on their own whenever you handle it in that mode. Ultimately, I ended up putting bits of quakehold putty on the 0S to make it hold together a lot better. Right now, they both pretty much stay in fighter mode in my display and look great; just prepare for a frustrating "play" experience whenever you take one out.

It's a bit messed up to say, but there is always hope in the sense that there are always going to be divorces, lay offs, etc. happening in the collector community. Sad way to get your hands on something, but ultimately it's helping someone in need out.

QFT. Retailers don't owe us a damn thing, folks. The sooner folks realize it, the better off everyone will be. Collecting is a pain in the ass. Get out if you can't deal with it.

Not worried about this at all. I'll simply wait for one of the inevitable "my wife is gonna kill me" special deals that pop up from folks that went nuts and bought too many.

Unless you live in Japan, retail pricing really doesn't mean a whole lot when it comes to Macross collecting.

When I was wearing my kid goggles back in the 80's, they were hot stuff... haha. But, like a lot of girls I knew back then, they didn't age so well. =P

I know for a fact that I won't be interested in changing modes with the RVF, so I'm on the lookout for a decent price on either a V1 or V2... if I can get a V1 on the cheap, I'll be happy not having to do the pre-order dance on a renewal. ... and on that note, anyone have a V1 RVF with super parts you want to unload to free up funds for a renewal? =)

We got these cases at a used retail fixture warehouse, so there isn't really a brand that I can refer you to. The shelving rails were added on as a mod by the original owner in order to turn the case into a front loading type with glass doors; front door glass display cases are pretty hard to find if you don't want to pay for a brand new or custom one, so we lucked out on these. Definitely comb your local used fixture store though, since there's always some hidden gems there.

Got some new display cases for our toy room and finally unpacked my Macross Quarter... I'm digging this toy a lot. =)

Only a few bits of Macross in here since I'm on Valk Hiatus until the RVF-25 drops, but here's a shot of everything my wife and in-laws added to my collection over the last 2 days. The joy of looking at all this is tempered by the fact that I have no idea how I'm going to display it all... lol. Luckily my wife agreed that we need to add a retail-style countertop glass display case to the toy room since I got her a ton of stuff for the holidays. =)
